Thanks - awesome!!!!!

Edit: Ah woops, noticed a problem:

Planetfall already includes SeZereth's flamethrower which uses the original fire spray effect. This Plasma Thrower is an upgrade of the Flamethrower. I noticed however that your plasma thrower uses the same effect name as the flamethrower. So simply copying and pasting that would make the flamethrower also fire blue flames.

Would it be possible to create a new effect in EffectInfos.xml and link the plasma thrower to that one?

 

[mechaerik]

Complicated. I'll work on a unit patch. Should have it up tomorrow.

 

[Maniac]

Would be great!

 

[keldath]

Unfortunately, i can't seem to find how the effect is linked to the file. Although i've messed around with effects before, this one escapes me.


I'm a little bummed out, 'cause they confiscated my shoes....

@ maniac

use the atttached kf for this unit and rename the plasma effect in the XML to EFFECT_RIFLEBLAST_FLAMES2 (just in case the is an typo - simply add the '2'). Should work

 

[WillmarJ]

thats awesome. THanks.

 

[Maniac]

Thanks mechaerik and The_Coyote!

The problem is not, that i could not find a space to put in, the problem is, that i have no idea, how to name it .

Plasmathrower?


I gotz meh shooz back!

They were confiscated because of a mercury spill in my Chemistry class, so HazMat came in and scanned us all, then confiscated our shoes.


BTW: the other unit i made in Pic 3 is a Hand Cannon, which forms a UU in the MechaMod, Wagenburg for the HRE.

Could someone please repost the flamethrower as I have just tried to get that, but it doesn't work. I think this is a cool unit, and if you know how I suppose you could make the flame civ coloured. That would be really cool. A plasma shooter with civ coloured flame...

Plasmathrower?

I'll have to re-name the korean UU, but to what...?
I'll see .

Look at these units.

 

[Deuskane]

Tesla is different : tesla electric arc effect is more dangerous i have found it in Wolfenstein Return to Castel and the effect who electrocuted or burned opponents unwise.

the effect doesn't use the tesla gun but the flamethrowers => 15.000 volt or more

Would it be posible to create a version of this unit with the animations set to fire from the side, like that german with the MP40?
It would make sense becouse flamethrowers were rarely or newer held like a rifle close to the face. They are a surpresion weapon and not a precision one. And the heat that close to the face would be fun too.

 

[mechaerik]

Possible? Probably.

However, that would require modifying the animations, which i have no idea how to do.

 

[Healz]

Could someone please repost the flamethrower? It is not there in the database. I know that someone must have it as it was used as a basis for the plasmathrower... Please, please repost it for someone that missed this unit the first time...
